Hello everyone, I am the happy owner of a 99 Ironman as the name implies.
I first saw the VX at the movie theaters in the movie "mission to mars" oh so many years ago. I went home looked up the weird vehicle I saw on the big screen, fell in love with it and I decided then that I must own one.
I was 16 or 17 at that time so I wasn't going to be buying one any time soon. 7 years later (I bought it at the end of 07) I found my self in the position to finally buy the car of my dreams. I found mine for $9800 with 94k miles at a small dealership in New Braunfels, TX. I drove it once, and I was not disappointed in any way.
I look forward to spending time on this online VX community to talk more about our experiences with this amazing Vehicle…
As so many here might say, ''Welcome to the addiction!''
Peace.

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm James from London, UK. I bumped into a picture of a vehicross when looking for a v8 defender as a fun run around and weekend of roader, i must say i relly like it and i'm looking to buy one now.
I would worry about parts though as its only an import here, is it right that they are trooper based? and therfore parts are the same? what about running gear / electrical components? Also any thing to watch out for when looking at a second hand one, mileage etc?
Hope my sig is ok? i imported it from another forum i use, if its too big let me know!
Oh and i need to find somwhere to get a suspension lift and some BIG matt black wheels from as soon as i purchase one
THanks !!

Hi James,
Welcome to the forum! If you use the search function, I think you will find all the info you need. There are a lot of things to look for when buying used, and the parts question always comes up as well.
It is a little on the big and obnoxious side... But cool, my brother has a Z.
You mean like these?

Good luck in your search for a VX!

Hay, nice Z crotchrocket. They’re pretty common here in the US, but I don’t think there’s very many in the UK. It look’s really good. You’re a perfect candidate for a VX if you can keep a 300ZX TT looking that awesome. You’re right the VX shares a lot of parts with the trooper, and it shares a designer with the 350Z.
sorry... someone jumped on here while i was in the can
how do u delete posts?
